UPDATE β€” Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader.

So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader.

Here's what they said.

50 year mortgage is insane. You'd pay so much more over the lifetime of the loan and likely never pay it off before you died. 400k loan over 50 years is 1.4 million. Yikes forever.

There is no more unity. Bye Felicia. All current members are game to primary. It's time to step aside since you are incapable of understanding the fight ahead.

It's a truly insane take to demand "unity" in the party when you all betrayed the party, you surrendered our power to the fascists, you betrayed the entire nation. @whitehouse.senate.gov

@whitehouse.senate.gov what did you all not withhold unanimous consent? Why do you call accountability for an astoundingly damaging and foolish move "recriminations"? Why are you protecting Schumer? Y'all protect your own more than democracy.

I told you that a bunch of these Democrats secretly wanted this bill, but they didn't have to vote yes bc 8 of them fell on the sword. The rhetoric coming from Dems right now is despicable. It's insulting.

Remove Schumer. Work to fix this. You all have destroyed trust and so many lives.

Nothing your wrote matters. Your colleagues betrayed the American people...AGAIN. Democrats continue to fuck up every time they have momentum. We can not win in 2026 if you give up on us now. None of your platitudes will remove the death of Americans because of this vote. Failures yet again.

We’re not going to β€œfix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

It may surprise folks that Justice Jackson, who has been one of the most vocal critics of the Court's behavior on emergency applications from the Trump administration, acquiesced in even a temporary pause of the district court's ruling in this case. But as I read the order, which says a lot more than a typical
"administrative stay" from the Court, Jackson was stuck between a rock and a hard place-given the incredibly compressed timing that was created by the circumstances of the case.
In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn't, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court's (forthcoming) review-and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it's a compromise-one with which not everyone will agree, but which strikes me as eminently defensible under these unique (and, let's be clear, maddening and entirely f-ing avoidable) circumstances.

Chuck "Vote Blue, No Matter Who" Schumer 100% voted for Cuomo. He never endorsed Mamdani and he continues to stop true progress for the American people. This old fool needs to be voted out come 2028. Fuck these backward fake power gripping cowards.

Chuck Schumer and his "fictional" Bailey's need to go. The ginormous L he took for not backing Zohran Mamdani is yet another example of his failed leadership. If AOC doesn't run for president, then she should seek his seat in 2028.

Hillary Clinton is more left than most of the Democrats right now. That's how far to the right the entire Democratic party has moved. Makes you wonder why is that? Could it be all that billionaire money the DNC loves to take? Why aren't workers the number one priority to the democratic party?

It's been interesting to see how many democrats refuse to acknowledge Zohran Mamdani's win today. He won the democratic primary and then won the election as a democrat. This should give you a hint at where these 'liberals' stand. They stand with the very people who continue to abuse working people.

Yes on Prop 50 wins, Mamdani wins, Spanberger wins, Sherrill wins, Colorado passes tax on rich to fund school meals!

This is the beginning of the Democratic comeback and hopefully the dawn of a new populist and progressive era.
